Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me.
Heard that tune, and now I´m pining, honey, can´t you see?
´Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can´t turn back the tide.

Never had no destination, could not get across.
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost.
´Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide.

Now I´m smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity,
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity.
´Cause every time I hear that melody, well, puts me up a tree,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see.
